Reply #98: no that has not happened to me

But there were times in the early 80's here in hollywood when my wife and I would walk up to the store for groceries at night and saw pimps shoving around a female , we always yelled out to stop , sometimes the female would yell back to mind our own business and other times the assumed pimp would stop and she would run off.

I do know myself enough to know I do react without thinking of myself first. If someone was attacking my wife I would not stand there and do nothing either so what's the difference.

I am no hero and do hope i never find myself in this situation but I also know I could not live with the guilt haunting me for doing nothing. I know it would be re-played in my head forever.

I suppose we should all live in fear and have every building and bus and train with a cop and metal detectors and body searches then the crime will happen some other way.

I have absolutely no answers for any of this. I do know there is no way to secure everyone all the time.
